In 1957 it would have been hard to imagine that within four years, DeSoto would be history, but for the moment, times were good. There was an overwhelmingly positive response to the all-new 1957 Forward Look DeSoto, and big-car buyers loved the looks, the luxury, and the power.
Introduced two months after the other 1957 DeSotos, the Adventurer featured an exclusive color scheme (either white with gold accents or black with gold accents) and a 345 horsepower/345 cubic-inch Hemi V8 with twin four-barrel carburetors and a full-race camshaft. Even the wheel covers were gold-colored!
Just 1,950 Adventurers were built for 1957, including exactly 300 convertibles. The car has optional power windows, power six-way seats, Hi-Way Hi-FI (a 16 2/3 rpm record player), and factory air-conditioning. The list price was $4,272 plus options.
